Abstract
A detector based on multiwire drift chambers is being constructed at MEPhI to study the near-vertical muon component of extensive air showers (EAS). To analyze EAS by muons, it is necessary to separate them from secondary particles both in air showers and those born inside the detector. To this end, the detector consists of several layers of drift chambers and a steel absorber. This work is devoted to the analysis of the data of modeling the passage of muons and electrons through the detector in a wide range of energies. The simulation results demonstrate that the use of the proposed detector configuration makes it possible to efficiently separate the muon component of EAS.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
